We’re delighted that our MindSpa system has been selected by The Gadget Show to be in their Top 50 Christmas Gifts.

You might remember that the MindSpa was featured in The Gadget Show’s focus group session and was unanimously voted ‘The Best Stress Buster’. You can see a video clip of the focus group session at http://fwd.five.tv/gadget-show/videos/focus-group/focus-group-stress-busters

The MindSpa has always been popular at Christmas time and many of our customers buy them as presents for friends and family. Last Christmas, one of our customers ( whose MindSpa had helped him with anxiety and sleep problems) bought eight MindSpas for his friends !

We’re starting the run-up to Christmas and according to a survey by the mental health charity Mind, one in five of us gets stressed during the festive season. Christmas is a time for parties, but not everyone enjoys parties, especially if they’re a bit shy. . Here are some quick tips to bear in mind if you’re feeling nervous about going to a party.

    Don’t worry about coming up with sparkling conversation. Just being a good listener makes you popular.
    To get the conversation going, ask open questions such as what someone is doing for Christmas or how their job’s going. Remember FORE – Family, Occupation, Relaxation and leisure, and Education – for conversation topics.
    We all get on with certain people at work or socially more than others. At a party, talk to them first to build your confidence.
    Breathing exercises will help you relax. Breathe in to the count of four, out to the count of five, relaxing your shoulders and tummy. Repeat four times.
    Don’t rely on alcohol to calm your nerves – it can make you more stressed.
